Max goes to bed between 8:30 and 9:00.
Wakes up between 7:45 and 9:00am
Give him his pacifier for naps and at night

Full bowl of Oatmeal when he gets up put enough milk in for right consistency he can eat it either cold or warm (20 sec in microwave for warm). He'll probably want more food after oatmeal is done, baby food fruit is fine.

He usually takes an 1.5 hour nap at 10:30. (I get him to sleep by rocking him and giving him a 6 oz bottle of milk (warm or cold) which he may eat the whole thing or only a little). About 30 min after he gets up from this nap give him 2 foods (baby food, veggies, fruit, yogurt)

I put him down for another nap 3 hours after he woke up from the last one (put him down the same way as earlier). This nap varies, it could be an hour or it could be 3hours.

When he gets up from this nap,after about 30 min, feed him another 2 or 3foods.

I usually will put him to sleep at night by giving him another bottle while rocking.
His usual schedule (times approximate)
8:30 Wake Up
9:00 breakfast
10:30 Nap
Noon Lunch
3:00 Nap
6:00 dinner
8:30 bed
You can give him cheerios, crackers, or cookies when he wants them. Try to give more cheerios than crackers or cookies.
For meals, feel free to try any foods you'd like. Make sure they're cut small.

His favorite books are:
Foot Book
Elmo Loves you
Brown bear
At the Zoo
Corduroy

Give him Motrin if he has a fever or seems to be in teething pain (1.875 on the dropper every 8 hours)

This blog was first started as a way of keeping our family and friends up to date when Bobbie Jo became pregnant with our son Max in 2007. It has continued as a place to post pictures, videos, and details of our family adventures.

In the time that we have been posting here it has been incredible looking back at past entries. I can't imagine what it will be like to look back in 20 years at what we were thinking now. I think that this "online diary" will be a priceless gift that we can pass on to Max and Lily as a record of their lives.
